Hi I’m tearing my transmission down due to finding some blackish sludge in the pan along with some small aluminium fragments. I’ve found where the aluminium fragments are from. Planetary gear carrier has worn through.
Just wanting to know how to check my converter to know if it’s ok or toasted. I have never driven it nor can it be driven at the moment.
I’ve drained the TC and the oil was quite clean. I can spin the internals both ways. It does seem like it has some movement when I stick my fingers into the internal spline and move it around it makes a noise like it’s possibly hitting the housing.
If I stick the shaft inside and spin it sounds fine. It’s a TCI Streetfighter converter. just would like to know if it’s good to run. We don’t have any transmission shops close to where I live. Closest is probably 400Klms away.
